Pros

The working conditions are above average for the area. The pay is comparable to the area. Although being a large company it feels like you are working for a small company.

Cons

The good old boys club is alive and well. If you are a female there is definitely a glass ceiling. The management in the manufacturing area is very unprofesssiona;

Pros

the name is recognized by everyone, it's a global company offering opportunities for relocation and global job seekers who might have an interest in seeing the world. Here in Buffalo Grove our buildings are in a pretty nice part of town, even though traffic around here's bad and it's hard for those without cars to get here.

Cons

the krauts. the integrity of many people. the politics, the ad-naseum paperwork. We're always competing against companies that market and execute better than we do. Johnson Controls and Honeywell are formidable competitors and our competitive strategies are basically smoke and mirrors. Siemens struggles retaining good talent - they move on after they realize the negative energy that hangs in the air.

Pros

Cooperation of work groups within specific departments and the customer base is good to work with. The people on staff were also very strong technically and creative in developing solutions for specific customers' needs rather than just offering a standard catalog solution for each customer.

Cons

Lack of definitive direction sometimes. Some lack of communications from within individual departments. Also, could be more cooperation across business centers if compensation programs awarded cooperation and total customer focus.
